Yes! In 2 states. And I'm always shocked when I get off the phone because it goes like this:

They do all my intake and then come the questions -

Do you have trouble getting dressed? Yes

Do you have trouble bathing? Yes

Do you have trouble making meals for yours? Yes

A few more along those lines and then it's "I'm sorry we don't have any programs you're eligible for."

What?!? It's got to be either my age or that I have zero income. I'll definitely try them again, because why not.

So try again, and with those questions, say you are able to do most things for yourself, with great difficulty. Sometimes there are live in programs but you have to be able to take care of your day to day needs. I'm so sorry, I know how scared you are right now 🫂
